A Charming Garden Retreat with Views, Character & Ample Room to Grow Set atop a gentle knoll on almost 1/2 acre, 777 Bonita is a rare blend of timeless charm, privacy and possibility. From this enchanting retreat, distant mountains and endless skies stretch in every direction, while refreshing coastal breezes drift in from the beach, just 15 minutes away. Winding garden paths invite a quiet morning walk through an extraordinary collection of mature landscaping and fruit trees, including apple, orange, peach, plum, guava, avocado, kumquat, grape, pomegranate, grapefruit and dragonfruit. Six raised garden boxes are ready for herbs and berries, with rosemary, thyme, strawberry, boysenberry, basil, onion and sage already planted. Spring brings a sea of lavender, bright yellow succulent blooms, colorful geraniums and hibiscus. Four olive trees, two Japanese maples and two strawberry trees create a peaceful grove in the rear garden, while two birch trees frame the front. A magnificent mature palm adds an iconic focal point to the landscape. Tucked beneath a mature evergreen and seasonally draped in purple blooms, a hidden garden sanctuary offers the perfect place to enjoy coffee, a good book or conversation with a friend. The 1946 home retains its original character, including charming wood-beam ceilings, while thoughtful updates bring contemporary comfort. The remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring light maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large pantry and new white GE Caf appliances. A black iron wood-burning stove adds warmth and character on cool winter morn
